U.s. Must Start To Play For Keeps

September 20, 2001

While we all watch in terror at the unfolding of the World Trade Center terrorist attack, Americans should be reminded of the fragile world that we live in. Freedom and prosperity come with a price tag in this unjust world of ours, and there will always be others who will try to take that away from us at whatever cost.

America is a mosaic of many peoples, a melting pot of cultures, nationalities, religions and beliefs. It is the essence of what keeps this country strong, prosperous and free. We must continue to be an example to others in our world, to show them that our way is the future.

Past historical events will continue to be a burden to America's foreign policy (CIA's ruthless involvement in other countries' policies), but we must never allow mistakes and military actions to force our government and people to play into the hands of others motivated to destroy the fabric of this great country.

We have a most difficult task ahead of us. We now have to change our mindset and play dirty to restore freedom for our people and safe living for others in this world. Make no mistake, this is not limited to America alone; we are just the first of many other terrorist attacks on our world.

So, we must not allow the news media to create a sense of misdirection and wrongdoings as our government and country struggle to come to grips with a changing ethical and moral defensive policy. We now have no choice but to play dirty and play for keeps. It is the only way to destroy a well-ingrained terror structure that was formed over 10 years ago and led by the most vicious anti-America foreign states (we know who they are).
